We’re thrilled to announce that we received a 2025 Family Business Award from the Hartford Business Journal, honoring our commitment to our customers, our team, and our community.
A Legacy of Trusted Service
For over 30 years, Degree Heating & Cooling has provided heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical services across western and central Connecticut. Founded in 1993 by Lawrence Jordan, John and Patricia Arcari, our company is built on family values. Our founders remain involved, with Larry Jordan and John Arcari serving as Warehouse/Fleet Manager and Install Coordinator, respectively. We operate from Glastonbury (Degree East) and Danbury (Degree West) serving our customers in Connecticut.
Recent Milestones and Growth
The past year brought significant accomplishments. We expanded our plumbing and electrical services, becoming a comprehensive home comfort provider. Our team grew to 39 employees, enhancing our overall service capabilities. We’ve also boosted marketing and technician training, investing in our long-term growth while providing top-tier service. Our goal is to continue to earn our community’s trust and get recognized with awards like this one from the HBJ.
Our Values and Future
Teamwork, pride, and community are central to our business; we treat every customer like family. Looking ahead, we plan to grow our plumbing and electrical divisions, continue to enhance training, and expand into new markets while maintaining our local focus. Our goal is to be Connecticut’s most trusted home comfort provider.
